Hey, monks. I hope this isn't off-topic, but has anyone successfully installed wxPerl? It looks like a really nice program, but so far I can only get it installed on Win32. When I try to make the module on Linux, it chokes on the STC.c file in about a million places. I downloaded and "make install"ed wxWindows before doing this, but I still get the errors. I even tried going back to 0.12 to see if an older version would compile - no gravy.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've attached an excerpt of the errors at the bottoms of this post. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that STC.c is including a .cpp file, but I'm not sure.

TIA, Bill
